	United States Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Vice President of the United States is the presiding officer of the Senate but is not a senator and does not vote except to break ties.
		The powers of the presiding officer are extremely limited; he or she primarily acts as the Senate's mouthpiece, performing duties such as announcing the results of votes.
		The presiding officer may rule on any "point of order" (a senator's objection that a rule has been breached), but the decision is subject to appeal to the whole house.
